Your IT account
Your IT account
All registered Students are given their own University IT account.
Your account will provide you with access to email, file space, Blackboard e-learning portal, Microsoft Office 365 and other useful University resources.
Everyone who accesses the University’s IT systems, network, Wi-Fi, email and/or internet facilities must familiarise themselves with the contents of the Acceptable Use of IT Facilities and Systems. This can be viewed online here or downloaded from here.
Welcome to Buckinghamshire New University!
To get started with the IT services at BNU, it’s really important to activate your account by setting up your password. This is applicable to all BNU students, including partner college students.
Your Username
Your username will be your student ID number followed by @bucks.ac.uk: e.g. 20905674 @bucks.ac.uk
This will be your username for all IT services (logging into systems, online e-learning, etc.).
Note: You will need your IT credentials in order to enrol online as a new student. We will send you an email when you are able to enrol so that you can activate your account. If you try and access your account prior to that, your credentials won’t be recognised
Your Password
You must set up your password yourself by using the University’s self-service password reset portal.
Go to https://mypassword.bucks.ac.uk and follow the instructions under reset your password section.
Once your password is set, you are ready to use your IT account. You can use your account details to connect to Wi-Fi and use other university IT resources.
If you have difficulties in setting your password, please contact IT Service Desk.
